Naval Hospital Guam

Naval Hospital Guam was established in 1899, following the U.S. acquisition of Guam after the Spanish-American War, making it one of the oldest continuously operating U.S. naval hospitals in the Pacific. During World War II, the hospital played a critical role in treating thousands of American and Allied casualties following the liberation of Guam in 1944. Over the decades, it has provided vital medical support during regional conflicts, humanitarian missions, and natural disasters throughout the Pacific. Today, Naval Hospital Guam remains a key facility for the U.S. Navy, supporting service members, their families, and the local population.
